Eniola Badmus, a well-known Nollywood actress and influencer, has been bestowed with a new Yoruba name, “Ebudola,” which means “insult turned to blessing,” after her recent appointment with Nigerian President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu. In response to online hate and criticism, Badmus shared stunning photos of herself on Instagram, proudly displaying her new name.
Recently, a viral list claimed that Badmus would lead the entertainment committee for Tinubu’s inauguration, with other top entertainment stars such as Toyin Abraham, Seyi Law, and Saheed Balogun as members of the group. This comes as no surprise to many, as Badmus has been a vocal supporter of Tinubu before and during the February 2023 presidential election.
Despite facing backlash and trolling for her political beliefs and support of the former All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain and Lagos state governor, Badmus remained unwavering in her convictions. Her new name, “Ebudola,” serves as a testament to her resilience and ability to turn negative comments into positive affirmations.
Eniola Badmus’ recent appointment and her new Yoruba name have created a buzz among her fans and supporters, demonstrating her continued influence in Nigerian politics and entertainment.
